The Solar inverter is the heart of the solar system. It is a sophisticated piece of electrical equipment that is responsible for:

Conversion of DC current (produced by the solar panels) to AC current which can be used within your home or exported to the grid.

Controlling the voltage of the system to extract the maximum power available (referred to as maximum power point tracking).

Reporting on the solar system’s performance (either on screen, via bluetooth or via the internet)

There are now many solar inverter manufacturers on the market but only a very limited number stand out:

Here are some of the recommended manufacturers;
